I can't believe someone would want to rehome their cat because it scratched the children. My children have been scratched to smithereens over the years because of getting too over zealous with the cats! They didn't realize that the swishing tail and big wide eyes meant back right off or you are gonna get it!

Anyway, Kaz, it sounds like you are much more cat friendly than your neighbour.

Keep the cat of course

Aaaah but do you really think you have a choice? the cat has decided, I suggest you sit back and enjoy your new condition as a slave lol.

Pay to change the chip info and enjoy your new family member, you have quite clearly been Chosen., congratulations! Your neighbors are jerks, get it in writing that they have surrendered the cat to you.

(You might want to ask the mod to split your post and the replies into your own thread though.)

So glad you've been chosen Kat... Although I don't think you have to pay to change the microchip info?

Well done on becoming a cat slave.... It's hard work but worth it

Hello its me !!! After almost 6 months now since the lovely Babs just appeared in my life I thought Id give you a quick update. Thanks Moggy Baby for message , I do log in quite a lot.

Well Babs continues to be spoilt rotten and has taken over my life completly.
We have such a routine. As I told you i was made redundant last year so Im at home all the time now which is perfect but she hates me going out , I have to sneak out when she's having her first nap of the day in the spare bedroom. Seriously ! She will still NOT use the cat flap, yeah she will go through it when its tied open but shut and no way . So yes every day its taped up . Total waste of time really as she will not go out when Im out and waits until I get back... oh well.
She comes to bed with me every night and sleeps on a big easy chair in the bedroom that she has taken over. I put some cushions and jumpers under the cover which she lies on and she loves that. Yes she still comes onto my bed at whatever time kneads my arm and then goes back to sleep. Good as gold .

The downside still remains the same , although she follows me around constantly and is such a lovely companion there is really no affection. She still doesnt sit on my lap or really show any affection really. As soon as I start to stroke her the tail goes off on one and she moves away. She does roll over alot in front of me and is so vocal , ebverybody finds that so amusing she's like talking to me all the time.

Ive put her a cushion seat in the window thats where she is now as she loves looking out of the window. Told you spoilt as hell but love her to bits.
I really would be lost without her and I love making her happy as she must have had a pretty bad time before.

I think back to those days last Sept and how she just appeared. Bless.

Oh yes I just thought , ive given a bit of a donation to cats protection league, do you people support CPL or is there a more worthwhile cat charity? I would value your opinion

Anyway i will keep you updated you lovely people. I hope you all well.

Take care

What a lovely update, I am so glad for you

None of mine are lap cats either, some cats just arent. They will curl up next to me sometimes, but as long as they know where I am they are happy

I think she loves you just as much as you love her

Mine aren't my lap cats, but they'll gladly lay on OH lap on a night, which I find quite amusing because, we nearly had our first major row when I kept going on about having one, now he's just bought me my 3rd for my 40th birthday

Thats great that she is still spoilt rotten
Ours wasnt a lap cat when he was younger (he's 13 now) its only the last couple of years he has wanted that sort of attention.
